Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is Africa’s untamed gem—home to roaring Victoria Falls, vast savannahs teeming with wildlife, and ancient ruins whispering forgotten histories. From adrenaline-packed adventures to soul-stirring landscapes, this is a land of raw beauty and warm hospitality, waiting to be explored on an unforgettable overland journey.

Victoria Falls

Welcome to the adventure capital of Africa—where the Zambezi River crashes into a 108-meter abyss, sending up a plume of mist visible for miles. This is Victoria Falls, or Mosi-oa-Tunya ("The Smoke That Thunders"), a place where adrenaline and awe collide. Beyond the falls, the Zambezi beckons with white-water rafting through Class V rapids, sunset cruises past bathing elephants, and bungee jumps from the Victoria Falls Bridge. By night, listen to the distant roar of the falls as you sip a cocktail under a sky lit by a thousand stars.

Hwange National Park

Zimbabwe’s answer to the Serengeti, Hwange is a wilderness of golden grasslands and ancient teak forests, where 40,000 elephants roam alongside lions, wild dogs, and buffalo. Unlike crowded East African parks, Hwange offers exclusive, raw safari experiences—think guided walks, hidden waterhole hides, and nights spent listening to the symphony of the bush.

Mana Pools

Imagine walking through an untouched Eden, where elephants stretch for acacia pods and lions laze under winterthorn trees. This is Mana Pools, a UNESCO-listed wilderness where safaris are on foot, offering a connection to nature you’ll find nowhere else. Sleep under the stars on the banks of the Zambezi, with hippos grunting in the distance.

Great Zimbabwe & The Eastern Highlands

Step into the shadows of an ancient empire at Great Zimbabwe, a towering stone city built 900 years ago—long before European colonizers arrived. Further east, the Eastern Highlands unfold in emerald peaks, waterfalls, and misty tea plantations. Hike Nyanga’s mountains, trout-fish in crystal streams, or sip coffee in a colonial-era lodge.

Yes. Overland operators often adjust itineraries for safety, weather, or unforeseen local events. Routes may change abruptly—operators stay connected with campsite managers and local contacts to respond quickly

Yes to both! Independent adventurers can enjoy trekking, wildlife, and scenic variety and mature travellers can experience historic Rovos Rail journeys through Hwange and to Victoria Falls.

Zimbabwe is generally safe for guided groups, but certain areas (e.g., Chizarira) are very remote with limited cellular coverage and basic medical access. Insurance that includes emergency evacuation is vital.

Expect limited electricity and intermittent mobile data in rural national parks. Bring power banks, solar chargers, and extra SIMs/eSIMs. Campsites occasionally offer basic electricity, but overlanders rely on self-sufficient charging setups.
